Anyone tried the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 yet?
As the title says, looking for some feedback from anyone who has tried this tire. Priced between the Kumho MX and the ADVAN's, a few good reviews on Tire Rack, but none from RX8 drivers.

Saw these featured in the latest Tire Rack mailer. I'm interested in them as well and would consider using them as my next street/track tire.

Tirerack test, take it for what it's worth. It looks like a good budget alternative to the Advan Neova, but if you want the best ST compound you still have to pay to play. It does look like it'll threaten the RE-01R more based on Tirerack's findings as the RE-01R is a good dual use tire that is still kind of pricey.

I have a set of Dunlop's, and I think they might be Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 (got car used and they were recently put on), but ill check and get back to you sat.

1935 lbs. FTW!
I read some good reviews for these. Dunlop actually gave a few BMW owners some test sets during Oktoberfest this year and everyone liked them. I doubt they're quite as sticky as the AD07 or RE01R but probably on a level playing field with something like the Hankook RS2, RT615 falken etc.

I am a noob here. I saw this post and figured I'd chime in on my favorite tires.
Hello everyone :D
I had these on my previous car (a heavily [suspension wise] modified 2007 Corolla S). I ran these Z1's (I work for Goodyear so I got them dirt cheap as soon as they were released in the US) and I thought they were spectacular. Before that I ran Direzza DZ101's and RT-615's, all 205/55R16 (except for the RT-615 was 225/50R16) on low (for a Corolla) offset 16x7 +33 Flik FTD's. The Z1's don't make a peep around corners, and I felt they handled almost as well as the RT-615's. The price is the big draw to them.
